Grocery shoppers had to be evacuated Monday evening from the Real Canadian Superstore in Metropolis at Metrotown in Burnaby, at around 8:30 p.m. after a carbon monoxide leak.

Fortis says the source appears to be a malfunctioning piece of equipment on the store’s roof and that the equipment will need to be fixed.

The store is scheduled to open at regular operating hours Tuesday.

No one was hurt.
